Summer 2025 Real Estate Trends: Pinterest Insights to Help You Sell Faster 🏡

Summer is here and, according to Pinterest*, buyers and renters are eager to embrace unplugged, nature-forward living—exactly the narratives you can weave into your property marketing this season.

1. Rustic Farmhouse + Cottagecore Interiors

Searches for “thrifted decor” saw a +300% increase among Gen Z and “farm cottage aesthetic” skyrocketed +900%

How to leverage it:

  • Stage spaces with reclaimed wood, terracotta accents, and vintage treasures.

  • Highlight gardens, pergolas, and patios with cottage charm in listing photos, emphasizing serenity and story.

  • Create “summer sanctuary” tours targeting buyers craving cozy, tactile homes.

2. Digital Detox & Nature-Led Living

“Digital detox ideas” up +72%, “digital detox vision boards” +273%

How to apply:

  • Promote outdoor spaces—fire pits, decks, shaded nooks—as tech-free venues for “disconnecting to reconnect.”

  • Develop walkable lifestyle guides: “Top Nature Baths,” “Best Trails Nearby,” packaged with listings for added value.

3. Martha Stewart‑Style Garden-to‑Table & Fresh Aesthetics

“Martha Stewart aesthetic” surged +2,889%; interest in fresh summer recipes, gardens, and chicken coops is booming

How to apply:

  • Highlight kitchen gardens, productive backyards, and herb stations.

  • Position listings as hubs for sustainable living—great appeal for eco-minded buyers.

  • Share social content: “Summer sips & seasonal recipes inspired by this backyard garden.”

4. The Color of Summer: Dill Green & Cottage Flow

“Dill Green” is trending across dĂ©cor and fashion, joining “cottage flow” aesthetics like moss textures, florals, and neutral palettes

How to apply:

  • Use soft green hues in staging accents — throw pillows, planters, rugs — to capture modern rustic vibes.

  • Guide paint helps: “Pair dill green cabinets with vintage brass hardware.”
